    Default Buick 3800

    Hey guys

    This is my first post so i hope this is in the corect spot.
    At the moment im driving a vn commodore, completely stock. Im looking to get a bit more power out of it without breaking my budget. What are some mods the Buick 3800 responds well to. I dont want to build no street machine, just spruce things up a bit.

    Thanks

    Personally i would start with some extractors and an exhaust system.
    Only milk and juice comes in 2 litres.

    There is a Mod where you take the Bellmouth (i think it is called that) out from the intake, near
    the throttle body. Look that one up. They say it gives you more power.

    The bellmouth was put there to stop a couple of cylinders from leaning out. From what I've read, the only effect you will get is a placebo effect.

    The 304 V8 is the exactly the same throttle body but has a 65mm bore instead of a 60mm V6 bore, hence will give a small increase in intake air
